⭐️A Star Is Born 10/3

 “Just on Facebook, somebody said, my dad's favorite Mets player, Jerry Koosman, pitcher. I had never heard of him, 6'2, 205.


That right throws left out of Morris, Minnesota, University of Minnesota, Morris, 1967 through 85, pitch. Two time All-Star, 1969 World Series champ, the Maracle Mets, war number 47, 36, 27, 24. Speaking of war, 53.6, a great career war, 222 wins, 209 losses, a ton of losses.


Because you pitched for the Mets. 3.36 career ERM, 12 of those 19 seasons with the Mets, the nine Mets. Three seasons with the hometown Twinkies, three seasons with the Tri Sox, two seasons with the Phillies.


140 and 137, the record with the Mets. And he went eight and 20 in 1977, led the majors and losses that year. And so we got pitching stats, dude.


We normally will do hitters. 612 career games pitched in, 527 starts, 43 games finished, 140 complete games. So games finished does not include complete games.


That's a ton of complete games by today's standards. 33 shutouts, 17 saves, 3,839.1 innings pitched, 3,635 hits given up, 1,433 earned runs, 290 home runs surrendered, 2,556 strikeouts, 1,198 walks, 15,996 batters faced, 110 for you[…]”
